The Los Angeles Times has stabbed out an eye-popping story.

"America's youngest multi-millionaire!"

Here's the title.

The text is as follows:

His "Killer Tragedy" grossed $134.25 million in four weeks of release, and his distributor, New Line Pictures, paid him $26.7 million in advance.

His investment was only $50,000, and his shooting date was only 38 days.

He was only 20 years and 11 days old.

He is a miracle that has never been seen in Hollywood film history, and such a miracle will never be born again in the future.

He has all the potential for film, and he has all the potential of a criminal.

He is an intertwined body of genius and demon.

He tasted all the sins before he was 20 years old, and the post-20s showed all his talents.

He's Will. Lee, a baby bison galloping out of Texas.

Should we love him or hate him?

He is a descendant of Scottish immigrants in the last century, and his grandfather fought in the war to liberate North Africa, glorifying the country.

Please give him a chance to return to the arms of God! ”

When the news broke, the media went crazy and the public went crazy.

Li Wei became popular again.

A 20-year-old self-made multi-millionaire, let alone Hollywood film history, has never appeared even if he looks through the history of America.

Li Wei's past was quickly forgotten, and the first word that came to mind when the public mentioned him, the American dream.

Red is a wonderful taste.

The news of the multimillionaire fermented just in time for the Los Angeles federal court to hear the elder Will. Li's case was directly exposed to the national media, poor old Mr. Li was beaten to cerebral palsy, as a family member of the victim, Mr. Li earned enough public sympathy, when interviewed by the TV media, he interpreted the two emotions of pain and anger perfectly, he loved his father, he hated the murderer, this is the resolute attitude he needs to show, he was originally an actor, and easily won the public's maintenance.

Mr. Soros, the presiding justice of the case, received 200,000 petitions in the mail from all over the country within a few days, with only one content, sentencing the murderer suspected of the murder of Mr. Li's father to death, hanging, burning, drowning, and knocking to death...... The letter suggests all sorts of ways to die!

Mr. Soros was annoyed by this, and with every day he passed, the number of petitions doubled, and he hated the murderer, Andrew. Brown.

The court finally issued a unanimous verdict and sentenced Andrew to the court. Brown was sentenced to life without parole, and when the verdict was spoken, Mr. Soros struck the gavel eighteen times, and he cursed in his heart: "Hurry up and die in prison, you bastard, if I let you out, I will change my career to be a postman!" ”

Andrew. Of course, Brown was not convinced, he said in court that he would appeal, but he had no dollars, his gambling stall was seized on suspicion of money laundering, his bank account was frozen, and he hoped to get help from his family, but his close relatives were harassed by Li Wei's fans day and night for three generations, and they couldn't take care of him at all.

Therefore, die-hard fans are a very terrifying force, and even directly affect the length of time a star has been popular.

Li Wei is very lucky, he has gained a group of fans who unconditionally support him when he first entered the industry.

……

Beverly Hills.

In Li Wei's mansion, a private banquet is being held.

It's an upscale neighborhood within the lodge, an intimate garden for Hollywood stars, who bought the Mediterranean-style mansion three days ago for cash payment.

He is now a real multi-millionaire, and the figures reported in the media are correct, because this number is provided by him, and the first thing he does after he has money is public relations, and he spends money to buy the media to launder him, and the effect is obviously good.

He currently has a huge fortune of more than 20 million US dollars, which is net income after taxes.

At the beginning of January, Touchstone and New Line reached a cooperation intention to jointly invest in Li Wei's new film "Hurricane Rescue", with an investment amount of up to 15 million US dollars.

And this is only the first stroke, and when "The Killer's Tragedy" is finally painted, he still has a share to take.

His mansion was bought from an out-of-fashion celebrity and has more than 15,000 square feet of living space over two floors.

On the ground floor is the hall with a wet bar, the front door is not a large courtyard, and the back door is out into the garden, equipped with a large private pool, as well as a barbecue area, rose garden and manicured lawn.

On the second floor is the master suite, fireplace, gymnasium, private screening room, wine cellar with a capacity of 1,000 bottles and tasting room.

Today is Li Wei's first day in his new home, and he has set up a temporary venue in the back garden for this social gathering.

But he didn't have many guests at the banquet, except for his old companions, who were new neighbors.

Old partners include my mother, girlfriend, agent, Chinese restaurant colleagues, big fat Kevin, and my stepmother didn't invite him, because he just got the share, and Mrs. Vicky came to the door to ask for money, which made him very unhappy.

New line boss Bob. Shay with his assistant Michael. Lynn arrived at the appointment on time, and the Touchstone Pictures boss Joe. Ruth also arrived with an assistant.

Li Wei was talking with the two bosses at the moment, and several of them were holding wine glasses in their hands, looking like they were talking happily.

Joe. Ruth pointed to the assistant beside him and said, "I need to introduce first, this gentleman is Gary. Goldstein, "Pretty Woman" is from his handwriting, Will, he will be the producer of "Hurricane Rescue", you guys know first! ”

"Pretty Woman" is produced by Touchstone, the film company only produced this film last year, but it made a lot of money, and it received 170 million at the box office in North America alone, which is definitely a gold-making machine.

Of course, no matter how profitable it is, it can't compare to Li Wei's "Killer Tragedy", this movie is currently only released in North America, in addition to the box office, there are also overseas distributions, a series of copyrights for home videotapes, and there is a lot of talk in the media these days, saying that the new line is likely to reap more than 50 million US dollars in net profits with "Killer Tragedy".

"Killer Tragedy" has been screened for seven consecutive weeks, and it will be painted at the end of this week, with a total box office of 156.01 million, ranking fifth in the total box office list in 1990, just behind "Pretty Woman".

In this way, Li Wei and producer Gary. Goldstein was a sympathetic one.

With Gary. Goldstein talked for a while, and the two bosses led the topic to the signing of "Hurricane Rescue", which is a very important contract, jointly drawn up by the two major film companies, Li Wei was hired as the director and the male lead, and had the right to the final editing, and all other positions were handed over to the two major companies to operate.

The remuneration offered by the two major companies to Li Wei is 5 million US dollars, plus 15% of the box office share of North American theaters, and Li Wei does not enjoy the copyright, but only takes 10% of the dividends of the family video tape and the total overseas box office, which Tracy won for him.

Regarding this negotiation, the agent Tracy did a very good job, which not only contributed to this cooperation, but also increased the income for Li Wei.

"The formal contract has been drawn up, and our lawyers have reviewed it, Will, now we have to set the signing date, are you ready?" It was Bob who spoke. Shay, he was actually very unhappy in his heart, he was supposed to be wholly owned by the new line "Hurricane Rescue", but he was inserted by the touchstone, but the financier behind the touchstone is Disney, he can't get others, and he can only sulk alone.

Li Wei said with a smile: "I am ready to participate in the filming of "Hurricane Rescue" at any time! ”

Bob. Shay immediately raised his glass, "Then I wish you all the best in your filming process!" ”

A few people clinked to each other.

After drinking, Li Wei looked at his producer, Gary. Goldstein, this is a very bookish intellectual, around forty years old, but a little shy, not very fond of communication, Li Wei took the initiative to ask him: "Mr. Goldstein, is there a choice for my heroine?" ”

"Not yet!" Gary. Goldstein honestly said: "The heroine in the script is only fifteen or sixteen years old, I can't find a suitable actress, and I'm going to have an audition!" ”

"Then you know Jon. Mr. Voight? Li Wei didn't wait for him to answer, and said, "His daughter, Miss Julie, is of this age!" ”

"Will, you don't have the right to cast!" The two bosses spoke almost at the same time.

"I'm just suggesting!" Li Wei was annoyed, you are in a hurry, which director in Hollywood does not have the right to cast? How did I get stuck?
